Package: gdm3
Version: 42.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     Upgrading my Debian/testing installation on 2022/04/19
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     # apt -u dist-upgrade
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     GDM3 fails to start after system loaded
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     GDM3 loading fine and present login screen

since 2022/04/19, after a regular system update on my Debian/testing
installation,
GDM3 fails to load, after bringing up the system.

A curser on the upper left, top part of the screen is blinking and nothing is
happening afterwards. My GDM3 configuration is the same as before.

I have to manually login as root (CTRL+ALT+F[x]) and issue # service gdm3 stop.

Running then startx as normal user works still fine.

Maybe Wayland is broken, due to GDM3 can't load.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Sincerely,

Adrian Kieß
